When your customer asks ChatGPT who to hire, one name comes back — or three. These are the fixes that put yours in the answer.
Ask AI "who's the best [your kind of business] near me?" and it chooses from specific signals on your site and across the web. Most owners have set up none of them. Every fix below is free, needs no developer, and the five together take under an hour.
Right now it probably reads "Welcome" or your business name in big letters — and AI has no idea what you do. Rewrite it as one sentence that says what you do, who it's for, and where you are.
That's it. AI now knows exactly who you are.
AI favors pages that answer real questions, so hand it a list. Write the five you hear most before someone buys, give each a two-to-three sentence answer, and drop them on your homepage or a "Common Questions" page.
Don't overthink it. Write the way you'd talk to a new customer.
For local businesses, AI often checks Google first. An empty profile reads as invisible. Open the Google Maps app, find your business, tap Edit profile, and finish these four:
No profile yet? Search "Google Business Profile," set one up first — it's free.
AI cross-checks your details across the web. The more places your business shows up consistently, the more it trusts you. Find your type and go claim those:
Fill each one out completely. Don't skip fields. Same details every time.
The easiest one. When you save a page there's a little box called title or SEO title — AI reads it before anything else on the page. Set every one to this shape:
[What the page is about] — [City, State] — [Your Business Name]
That's the whole guide. Small changes, but they're the ones AI reads first.
Run a free scan and see your AI visibility score in about a minute — the ten questions your customers ask, and which engines still skip you. The full platform then re-checks every week and tells you what to fix next.
